Ask SafeDeposits - Do I need permission to have guests stay over?

With many people finishing up for the Christmas holidays, you might plan on having guests to stay while you're off - but if you rent your home, do you need to ask your landlord for permission?
Your tenancy agreement should have a clause...

Please note that we do not accept payment by credit card. We are happy to accept payment by debit card.

Prescribed information

The Tenancy Deposit Schemes (Scotland) Regulations 2011 also require you to give your tenant(s) some key information about their deposit. To help you do this, we've created the template below. If you are using the model Private Residential Tenancy (PRT) agreement then you can use the Prescribed Information (PRT) template. If you have additional clauses then please add these to the template.

All fields must be completed and a copy must be given to all tenants listed on the tenancy agreement within 30 working days of the tenancy start date.

Please note that the prescribed information is not the same as the deposit protection certificate that we send to all parties. Failure to give this information to your tenant(s) could result in you being ordered to pay the tenant up to the equivalent of three times the deposit. ​
